I watched him board the ship to Greece,
I stood there rooted in that moment of grief,
A war to wage he had- to bring peace!
I didnt want to let go of that moment so brief.
Days passed by, and so did weeks,
A letter or two to console the few,
To touch one half the other seeks,
Souls apart that long to sew.
Years went by, the war went on,
I yearned to see my knight,
A shining armor, he would adorn,
I ached to see him every night.
The letters stopped with the atom bomb,
In the depression, I struggled to thrive,
He perished they said with the bomb,
Long after, home they brought him alive!
A damaged brain, the body alive,
But home they brought my warrior alive!
